THE Baltimore Sun in noticing
the meeting of the Chesapeake y
Ohio Canal directory which was
held in Baltimore yesterday, says
The names Of several aspirants
for the canal presidency to succeed
Col. Baughman have been talked
Of. Messrs. Stephen Gambrill, the
canal treasurer and secretary; ID.
w. Talbot, of Montgomery coun-
ty; j. Frank Turner, the retiring
State comptroller, and Mr.. Darby.
of Washington county, have been
named IN that connection. The
State being the largest stakeholder
the board of public works will make
the new president.
While all of these gentlemen are
"good men and true" the fitness
for the position is the proper stand
ard. by which the appointment
should be made. Mr.. Gambrill has
been connected with the manage
ment of the canal for so long time
that his appointment seems to be
the one that would most aptly fill
the requirements of the position.
liz times past men have been APP
pointed who would hardly have
time to learn the requirements of
their Office before the expiration Of
their term. Therefore we believe
that if the public good is consulted
one who knows the duties of the po-
sition should be selected, and with
out rejecting on the rights or abili-
ties of the other gentlemen we
think Mr.. Gambrill will be the
right man in the right place.

THE Salt Lake Daily Herald,
commenting upon the Presidents
Message says
While the message is in no sense
a partisan document, it will DE ac-
copted as clearly defining the posi-
ton of the two great political par
ties. The issue upon which the
coming campaign will be conduct
ed is made up in this message. The
Democracy must support the al
ministration in its demand for reve-
nue. reform and tariff reduction.
The party will not necessarily have
to declare for free trade, but its po-
sition on the question will be SO
close to a free trade declaration,
that it will fall little short of the
old and orthodox plank of the Dem
ocratic platform. The Democracy
has long wanted to get back to its
legitimate position, but has lacked
the courage to move; the President
has now opened the way and made
1t necessary for the party to follow.
Free Trade as. Protection" will
DO the Democratic campaign cry in
1888.

In May 1886 eight men in the city of
Chicago we're leading the eight-hour
movement so formidably that it was on
the eve of success; brutal, capitalistic,
police despotism attacked a peaceable
meeting; an unknown man threw bomb;
a venal press, a packed jury and rampant
perjury convicted the eight and sentenced
seven to die. They lie in Chicago's bas-
tile awaiting leeden-footed Justice to
grant them new trial. All Americans
should read both sides of this case. Most

AT about 10 o'clock a tug with

under the protection ofthe sheriffs

threatened to make trouble, but
were held back, and the men were
conducted in safety to the work.
Toward dark a tugboat came up

They had collected in large num-

on Friday. They employ about
800 hands, two-thirds of whom are
unskilled laborers. These are most
OF the ones who are on strike.
Their grievance is that they are
not allowed to work full time, so
as to make living wages. They
say they can only make from S.
to S6 week. They want guar

A Result.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
When Henry George and Lau-
renee Gronlund stop blazing the
path that leads to the higher pos
sibilities of manhood, to quarrel
over which is the true Socialist;
and T. V. Powderly. with the lion
skin over his shoulders, stands at
the forks of the road and tells the
multitude to turn to the left, to
study we'll the old guide-boards
that leads to the valley of discon-
tent, and trust in him instead of
their undying principles; it is the
old, old equation. Hero worship
equals slavery. 1t is not from the
gods nor from governments, nor
from any higher bodies that help
comes.
"who would be Free, Himself must strike
the Blow"
When we cease to expect that
our servants like Powderly will
hand us down what they don't
possess, more wisdom than we
have, something will be done.
Power vested in men or executive
boards always has been and will
be abused. When you keep your
power at home and each rule your
own locality, you will reach results
and not before. Then your dele
gates to your federal assembly and
its officers will be what you hired
them to be, your servants.

Pertinent Thoughts fbr The Platssrn'
Makers IN The Labsr

...~,., -. .....,;H. III
Tie Knights Of Labor seem to
be disintegrating. No wonderl
The twenty-second aticIe con-
tains weakness enough, ] should
think, to sink any organization.
The whole labor movement
seems to me TO be stagnating, and
from the same cause the platforms
are too weak. No party can hope
to succeed without the aid of
those who do not read and those
who read very little. Toget their
aid they must have a promise
one that is worth dollars and
cents. 1t must be plain, positive,
easily understood and of speedy
realization.
Let some state convention
adopt the following preamble and
platform and there will be no more
complaints of the listless inatten-
ton of the people to that which
concerns their own interests:
PREAMBLE.
We, the people in state conven-
ton assembled, propose to elect
men who will promise to vote our
platform into law. If they fail to
keep their promise, we intend that
it shall go hard with them.
PLATFORM.
I. The earth has no owner; we,
therefore, refuse to pay for the use
of it.
2. All statues, laws, decisions
and customs, which recognize land
as private property, are hereby de-
clared to be null and void.
3. All persons, who on the day
of the last election were peacably
and properly in possession of any
parcel of land-not more than 100
acres-or any residence or busi-
ness place in any town or city in
this state, are declared to be the
proprietors thereof.
4. The proprietor of any real
estate shall own the right to use
the same as long as he pays taxes
thereon.
5. The governor of this state
is hereby authorized to organize a
competent body of men to pro-
vide homes, by building and fenc-
ing, for all who were in the state
on the day of the last election
and may wish to occupy the same.
6. The governor Of the state is
hereby authorized to appoint per
sons to take charge of the railroad
beds and tracks and charge toll of
all who choose to use the same;
also persons to take charge of all
mines and work them for the ben
eft of the people.
7. Each and every person may
keep and retain personal property
to the amount of one thousand
dollars as against all creditors,
past and future.
1t will be observed that ones
notions of religion, prohibition,
woman suffrage, polygamy, fl
nance or whiskey will not inter-
fcre with his voting for the above
platform. Let us settle one ques-
ton at time-the land first.
When we come to the money
question some woman will rise
from her washtub, and, towering
high above all the statesmen, phi
losophers and 6nanciers, who have
heretofore bloviated on the SUBJ
jcct, advise the lawmakers to tell
each and every woman, when a
baby comes, to go to the postoffice
and get that one hundred dollars
that should be provided for her,
thus making the quantity of mon
ey in circulation to coincide with
the population. S.
